FULLERS’ DRAMATIC PLAYERS

“HER UNBORN CHILD.” The Rev. Frank Gorman' and Fullers’ Dramatic Players will enter upon the final week of their' successful season at, the Princess Theatre to-night when a play entitled “Her Unborn Child 1 ” will, be' staged. The Rev. Frank Gorman is said to have the most telling of his several roles in Dr Remington, in whoso consulting room the big scene of the play lakes place. Lost some may ijnagine from the title that’ the piece is end calculated to hurt the susceptibilities, it may bo well to offer the following quotation from a Sydney newspaper:—“The author handles one of the great • social problems of 'the day with mingled courage and tact in ‘Her Unborn Child.’ ■ The element of coarseness is adroitly avoided, and the new drama in four acts may be classed a strong play with a deaf purpose. He is entitled to the credit of having presented in dramatic form, with an incidental pW for the ‘glory of motherhood,’ a protest against what those who are deeply interested in the birthrate speak of as race suicide.” Miss' Lesley Adrienne will appear as the girl Felice who has loved unwisely; Miss Nellie Ferguson as _ the wealthy birth-control fanatic, and Miss Helen Fergus as’ 1 the largehearted Irish mother. ,
